Inaccessibility in the diagnoses of neurodiverse individuals | Saoirse Lynch | TEDxYouth@Paparangi

To be neurodiverse is to be different in a way that can be hard to see. However, this doesn't take away from the immense impact neurodiversity can have. Saoirse, a year 12 at College makes us consider in her TEDx talk how even after diagnoses, to live as someone with a learning disability can prevent us from achieving all we want to achieve. From a young age, Saoirse has been incredibly passionate about making a difference and giving a voice to those who are unable to stand in the spotlight themselves. However, reaching this point hasn’t been easy. Touching on personal experiences around her inability to diagnose dyslexia - a learning disability she has had her whole life - Saoirse weaves a narrative of disabilities which can not be seen. And issues which can no longer go unanswered. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
